They should have give a bonus for scanning that system
I wonder if that payout was being the first person to explore it or not.
Unfortunately i dont have enough game time to operate in groups.
It's interesting enough to me, it's my plan to reach Elite explorer
- I have a list somewhere (not with me here, sadly, or I'd link it) of the named stars in the Zodiac constellations.I was only intending to visit the named stars, because ultimately every star in the galaxy is nominally in one of the constellations.

I was only intending to visit the named stars, because ultimately every star in the galaxy is nominally in one of the constellations.
My idea was to visit all of the stars that are used in drawing the constellation itself. I counted 18 stars for Canis Major, and so far have most of them visited. Unfortunately, some stars just can't be reached, like if the location is bugged.
i also would be interested in doing that constelation visiting stuff but i also have limited time i can play with. would be nice to go along with group mentality and with people that are more knowledgeable than me
on the topic of record systems for me its 215,428 CR for SYNUEFAI LM-T D4-6 SYSTEM
i cant wait for Erimus to come back from his journey to get data on his achievements and systems.he is freakin 65k Ly from Sol... cant get any further than that really...

If he doesn't take the same route back, he may end up taking a very, very long time to sell his data.
I was debating one of three options. Option one, get a group together to explore constellations. Option two, go to the high neutron star density areas and poke around there for a while. Option three, explore the immediate vicinity around Sag A.
Part of the problem with option one is I lack any sort of confidence in authority, so the process of organizing the group will be kinda dodgy. Heck, I don't even know how many people would be good to start off with.
I saw that Erimus already had similar cracks in his second video, and he still made it to the far side of the galaxy with a couple of mishaps. I think I'll be all right if I'm more careful from now on. Alt-tab is dangerous. I've got 'lucky' a couple of times and slammed into a planet from 1000ls away, sunk into a star while lining up a screenshot with the hud off, ran into a neutron star, zoned in between 2 stars, hit rings a little bit too fast, played while too tired and didn't notice I had my finger on the gas instead of the brakes entering a new system leading to major confusion and emergency stop, it all adds up. And yet again I'm typing this as my ship is refueling
At least I learned to always point it away from the star before alt-tabbing.
Has anyone worked out what the coordinates scale is in the galaxy map? I assumed it would be something like LY, but unless I have really messed up my pythagoras theorem, it does not appear to be. I was planning to start to capture coordinates of 'interesting' systems (starting with a list of systems that supply rares) in a spreadsheet so I could quickly work out distances from where I am, and thus which one was the nearest to where I happened to be.
Anyone else think it would be useful to show the coordinates in the overview panel on the left when you select a system? Faffing about with zooming the map to get it 'square on' so you can read the coordinates is a pain in the whatsits.

Map coordinates should be in LY, what data is giving you trouble? A lot of people would love to see system coordinate data made visible in the GalMap, hopefully as a highly accurate (1/32) API call in the future as well.
Water world seems to be a general catch all for terrestrial planets that have water on their surface. Some more than others, often with very thin or otherwise toxic atmospheres. That system is about 180ly from my current location, although it looks pretty isolated up there...Here's a pic of Outorst YQ-D D12-1 3.
Apparently this is a water world... ?!?? Some sort of bug in the generator? Nice looking planet though.
I removed the Asp's struts with Photoshop, in case anyone was wondering
IIRC around 160k. There was a whole bunch of metal rich planets in it, and as a special bonus, one Earth-like world.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say WE ARE DOOMED! The apocalypse is incoming.
Good to know! I'll keep an eye out.
From what I've seen so far they're in light years.
I too would benefit from each system showing its actual coordinates in the info panel.
From what I worked out, zoomed right in, 10x10ly grid, zoom out to 100 x 100ly and out again for 1,000 x 1,000ly

There is a black hole 6 ly's from a station !
- I'll find it in a bit - it's in the record breakers.. -- HIP 34707 - and I found it

Crazy! You should make a thread about it. "Closest black hole to populated space"There is a black hole 6 ly's from a station !
